Eric Holthaus, who used to do weather for Wall Street Journal, was reacting to Friday's findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Scientists found in the report that it was 'extremely likely' that humans are causing warming trends Holthaus said he has decided not to have children in order to leave a lighter carbon footprint, and has considered having a vasectomy He tweeted on Friday 'no children, happy to go extinct' The weatherman also said he is committed to stop flying as 'it's not worth the climate'

His next tweet said: 'Its a very emotional decision. Mixed feelings. adios babies?' According to another tweet from Holthaus, the Dutch artist known as Tinkebell, who calls attention to animal rights issues through works that use the remains of dead animals, had herself sterilised last week for a similar reason. Holthaus, who now writes for Quartz, has decided he will also reduce his carbon footprint by giving up on air travel. ‘I just broke down in tears in boarding area at SFO while on phone with my wife. I've never cried because of a science report before. #IPCC,’ was his first tweet on around 2pm on Friday. ‘I realised just now: This has to be the last flight I ever take. I’m committing right now to stop flying. It’s not worth the climate,’ he tweeted a few minutes later.

He'll be on a plane within a year...2 years tops. And when he gets caught, he'll state that all of this was meant to get a discussion going.

They need to join like-minded people of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement
www.VHEMT.org

“Phasing out the human race by voluntarily ceasing to breed will allow Earth’s biosphere to return to good health. Crowded conditions and resource shortages will improve as we become less dense.”

It’s real and the more and faster liberals come down with it the better. If he had the courage he wouldn’t stop with his baby’s carbon footprint...

"We don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows..."

The man is nuts and a dolt. Maybe his decision to snip it is a good one...

Wonder if he will ever breakdown while on air.

Wow. This boy has REALLY drank the kool-aide. Some are literal believers, and are almost eager to grasp onto any apocalyptic warning. Expect to see him swimming in front of some Japanese Whale Ship, trying to stop ‘all the murders’.

Doesn't he know that scientists are about to announce the ability to retrofit humans with genetically engineered gills?

We'll all be able to swim with the fishes!

"I just broke down in tears in boarding area at SFO while on phone with my wife. I've never cried because of a science report before."

And if this sniveling clown was talking about the latest IPCC report, which is a political tract utterly devoid of anything resembling "science," well...he still hasn't cried because of a science report.

I too am happy that he’ll go extinct. Absolutely wonderful idea.

Actually, the sad thing about this (alleged) man's case is that at one time he would have been properly diagnosed and treated.

Now we've regressed to the point where mental illness is regarded as exemplary.

A two-fer!

An honest poofter. Not only (in his mind) he's saving the planet, but (in the mind of normal people,) he's increasing the average IQ of future generations.

I say, BRAVO!!

A new report shows that one cubic foot of Martian soil contains one liter water! Therefore, we grow the gills on all Democrats and shoot them to Mars. They live in the soil, fertilizing it and making the planet habitable for Earthlings. When it is, we round them up and shoot them off to another planet that needs saving. And everyone’s happy.
